Abstract

The study attempts to explore the present scenario of YouTube language teaching in Bangladesh and to define how the Tubers select material and conduct classes on YouTube. This study explored ten renowned YouTube language channels in terms of some variables like video characteristics, attractiveness, clarity reaction. content. skills and teaching methodology. For this purpose. a questionnaire survey is conducted and naturalistic observation is carried out. In addition, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was made to get learners' opinions. The findings show that except for three channels most of them are following the traditional approach of language teaching. The findings also indicate that most of the facilitators belong to nonlinguistic backgrounds and do not have any teacher training experience. Again. inadequate focus is given in developing individual language skills. Therefore, YouTube language teaching needs modification.
